    • Quotes

      Nicolas: Why am I sick?

      La mère: Because at your age your body is changing and weakening.

      Nicolas: Like lizards?

      La mère: In a way. Like lizards or crabs. When they molt, they're very fragile.

      [pause]

      Nicolas: And starfish?

      La mère: They only change once, at birth.

      Nicolas: And afterwards?

      La mère: Afterwards... a new cycle begins.

      [pause]

      La mère: A new life.

    Beautiful, but ultimately nonsensical
    This movie is the equivalent of watching a famous painter perform his craft; you stand there, amazed at the beauty being demonstrated, and then when it's all over, you wonder, "What did he just paint?". I am all for films that make you think and create an ambiguous air in both storytelling and message, but this film is beyond absurd. The premise, the events that transpire throughout the movie, the lack of rhyme or reason as to why the events are taking place in the first place, etc. It was like a puzzle with not only missing pieces, but with each piece a part of a different puzzle. It's beautiful shot with some amazing cinematography, so be prepared to be amazed at some of the vistas shown throughout the film. But the movie just does not make any sense, and the ending does not clarify anything, nor does it bring it all together. Had it clarified some of the events, it actually would have been a great art film. As it stands, it's quite possibly the most nonsensical movie I have ever seen. I would not recommend watching it.
